Abstract: A detailed theoretical and experimental analysis of a single phase voltage sourced reversible rectifier (VSRR) with a unity power factor is presented in this paper. The complete model rectifier simulation in SPICE is used for the efficient work analyses. The special emphasis was given to analyses on the ripple effect of the DC output voltage and its asymmetry with respect to the neutral point. The influence of the controller parameters is analyzed on the mentioned effects. The prototype of described rectifier is realized and experimental results are shown. The simulation and experimental results show a good agreement and confirm a possibility of VSRR application to low power ranges.
Key words: Sigle phase rectifier, power factor, reversibile rectifier, SPICE simulation.
